The next day, the sun rose.

Amid the sound of roosters, the small mountain village, which had been terrified all night, ushered in a group of unusual guests.

Four oily and slippery jujube horses pulled two carriages and more than a dozen cavalrymen in official uniforms maintained a neat formation, breaking the slightly eerie tranquility of the village.

At this time, it was the eldest son of the clan elder who took care of the affairs of the village, a middle-aged man who had been suppressed by his father for most of his life, with a sad face on his face and a look of resignation.

After receiving the news, he trotted to the entrance of the village and stammered to answer the question of the nobleman immediately.

After learning that the other party was looking for a young man in brocade clothes, and it was Tanzhou County Zun sitting in the carriage, the middle-aged man knelt down with a soft plop, and was still scolded by the nobleman in his eyes, so he barely stood up with the help of the villagers.

The middle-aged man pointed out the way to the nobleman with his spirit, and watched the carriage drive along the cramped village road towards Bai Nanxiang's house in the dust and sand raised by the horse's hooves.

"Such a big carriage can't walk the path of the white girl's house......"

The first thought that popped up in the middle-aged man's mind was that he was worried that the carriage would not get in for the county zun, and then he slapped his thigh and pulled the villagers around him to order.

"Hurry up and inform the people in the village, the county has come to our Songyuan Village, let them have good food and drink at home and send them to the ancestral hall first!"

After giving such an order, the middle-aged man turned around and ran to the ancestral hall, and even left his father's funeral behind him for the time being.

Under the bright sun, a group of cavalry surrounded a tall thin old man with an ebony hairpin on his head, along the field path, all the way to a small courtyard, and the county respected himself raised his hand and knocked on the firewood door.

Squeak –

After a knock on the door, a delicate-looking young man gently opened the wooden door.

He glanced at the group of people outside the door, nodded to the county leader and turned back to the courtyard.

The county lord was not annoyed by his rudeness, but with a courteous face, he threw a group of people outside the door, and carried his heels behind the young man, and also entered the chaimen.

The county only stayed in the small mountain village for half a day.

The good fish and vegetables in the village prepared a table for him, and the county zun did not eat a mouthful, but poured into Bai Nanxiang's house with half a bowl of gruel and ate a sweet potato, although he looked very restrained but seemed to be very happy, he didn't know that he thought that the gruel sweet potato was more delicious than the delicacies of the mountains and seas.

In the afternoon, the county lord left more than half of the men and horses and a carriage, and he got into another carriage, and left the village with a sad face.

With him leaving, there were also Taoists with blue noses and swollen faces who were dragged away like dead pigs on horseback, and they didn't know if they could survive to Tanzhou City.

Three days later, a bluestone tomb was piled up on the hill behind Songyuan Village, which was very different from the simple tombs around it.

In front of the tomb, the floor tiles were laid, a stone table was placed, and three animals of melons and fruits were enshrined next to the tombstone, and such words were chiseled on the tombstone.

Therefore, the tomb of the Confucian people of the Zhang family

Filial piety granddaughter Bai Nanxiang enshrined

On the dirt road outside the village, a splendid carriage and eight cavalrymen left the village and drifted away from the village under the awe-inspiring gaze of the villagers.

In the carriage, he had already changed into a plain white linen dress, and the white nanxiang with plain flowers on his head was inserted, and his wooden face swayed gently with the rolling of the wheels.

Opposite her was Lin Jin, who was also dressed in plain clothes, and he looked at the little girl across from a small table with a pastry and fruit bowl and a pot of tea.

"The Li family kid has been following behind the carriage."

I've been following it for a mile.

The little girl stared at a plate of crystal cakes in front of her and said nothing.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Jin didn't speak anymore, he opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the green mountains and green waters outside the carriage that kept leaving.

"What will happen to them?"

Bai Nanxiang's voice reached his ears through the sound of the wheels of the carriage.

"Recently, the people of the academy will come to the village to clean up their memories, and the people of the world had better not know about the strange people and demons."

Bai Nanxiang heard it, but as if she hadn't heard it, she didn't give Lin Jin a response.

Lin Jin still looked out the window.

"Don't think about it, I'll take you home."

The word "go home" sounded, and the little girl's sloppy eyes finally focused on Lin Jin.

"Home?"

She repeated the word, dazed in her tone.

Lin Jin lowered the curtain and looked at Bai Nanxiang.

"Yes, home, the academy is my home, and from now on it will also be your home, and we are family."

Bai Nanxiang looked at Lin Jin and stopped talking, and the carriage was quiet again, until Lin Jin picked up the water cup and gave Bai Nanxiang a glass of water, Bai Nanxiang opened her mouth sullenly.

"The Limu Spirit Removal Array is all real, why are you lying to me? And Sun Xianzun is not your relative, you arranged for him to come to the village in advance, right? ”

If he had known that he had called the county honor, there could have been other solutions to the matter.

Hearing the little girl's question, Lin Jin was secretly relieved.

Being able to ask for it at least shows that she is willing to give him a chance to explain.

Lin Jin is always calm and quiet, and there is a rare seriousness on his face.

"Cuiwei Academy has the privilege of appointing places, but in order not to arouse the suspicion of ordinary people and for the convenience of doing things, we usually temporarily set up an identity for ourselves, most of whom are relatives of local governors."

"Sun Xianzun was indeed called by me, but it was not arranged in advance, after you decided to use yourself as bait, I notified him to come with a secret method."

"Limu and the Spirit Removal Array are both extremely domineering, and it is easy to damage Yin Virtue when used, unless it is a last resort, my generation will not use it easily, because I didn't plan to use the Spirit Removal Array in the first place."

He used Limu in order not to let Bai Nanxiang and the villagers take risks, there are too many uncontrollable factors in the false formation, Lin Jin is not an adventurous person.

As for Sun Xianzun, the academy has always been reluctant to alarm the local government, he asked Sun Xianzun to come, but after seeing the attitude of the villagers towards Bai Nanxiang, he wanted to use the county to support her.

The people in their academy are not yet bullied by outsiders.

Of course, Lin Jin didn't plan to tell Bai Nanxiang about this.

"And."

After Lin Jin finished explaining, he looked at Bai Nanxiang's eyes and said solemnly.

"I'm sorry, not anymore."

After all, he still lied to her about Limu and the Spirit Array, and although Grandma Zhang's death was unexpected, it was indeed his negligence.

Lin Jin's promise was half for Bai Nanxiang, and half for himself.

After receiving the explanation, Bai Nanxiang silently lifted the water glass on the small table and drank it all in one gulp.

"Got it."

She said.

The carriage drove along the path all the way to the official road, and the dust and mud raised by the horses' hooves splashed on a yellow dandelion that was just blooming on the side of the road, shaking a whole bush of grass blades.

The earth has finally ushered in its spring.
